Ground wires

Each MV (Medium-Voltage) and HV (High-Voltage) overhead power line shall be protected against lightning discharges. This is the role of the ground wires that are placed right on top of the support towers (pylons). The diffusion of the electricity network on the territory is exploited for the transmission of data through ground wires containing optical fibers (OPGW – Optical Ground Wire).
